Want To See Some Early Paintings Before I Was Finding Own Style? |
When I first started painting seriously during the mid-80s I started doing, for some weird reason, surreal works. I suppose I was borrowing from artists who had come before and hadn鈥檛 found my own real creative 鈥榲oice.鈥?You'll see obvious influences from other artists here. The photos are of rather poor quality because they are scanned from faded photos of long gone paintings. But I thought you might like to see how this old fart started his painting career. In the last photo that is me (and a girlfriend at the time). It is actually a pen and ink drawn on canvas. Pick on these all you want. I鈥檝e got a healthy ego and realize they are somewhat amateur. http://pics.livejournal.com/unmired/gall... It's a process: this love of art.... parlaying what's safe and what's learned - however painful - to the level of risk. Your design sense is powerful... Perplexing the Pious... and Removing the Cold are stunning. Your black and white work is amazing... Higher Music.. Quagmire.. Untold Truths... the Rube Goldberg-esque quality of Ain't No Cure For Love.. It's about how you think... and Unfinished Business says it all... just love it.. (it should be your logo!). It's your stretch and your reach. Like Henri said. .. "the object isn't to make art, but to be in that wonderful state which makes art inevitable," ...and you're there. It's all about heart. Once again.. thank you. They are not as bad as you make them sound. I like your ideas and lot of your work. And still waiting for some of your new work. seen mine at gia-oni.deviantart.com titus.myartplot.com they're not bad, even for an ameuter..i like them, specially "second time around" but you know, self-taught, just started painting seriously a year ago...but good.. got any more? Indeed compared to what you make now they are shallow. Note: compared to. Your painting skills are not the issue but the inspiration in your early work was pretty darn close to plagiarism.... no that is to harsh... it wasn't original enough to be called 'your own work' if you catch my drift. I view it as painting exercises and as such they are pretty good but they fade in comparison to what you do now. Though I definitely recognize your hand they simply lack the raw power that emanates from your current work. Nice to see where you are coming from. Not bad, really! It it just me or is this spam? Free advertising? If you want my opinion, I would say your art is very ametuerish and lacking skill like a lot of artist I've seen on here. People do not purposely make "bad" art without thinking that by doing so they are making something good within a system that accommodates , justifies and elevates the so-called "bad". Bad art is being made because people think it is good. |
